Speaker 1 (00:00):
Thank I so welcome back. We've got some dingle ball tickets.
Why not? This is a completely sold out show. You
want to be a jingle ball okay?
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (00:07):
Six one seven Caller twenty five gets the tickets, providing
you know the keyword, and the keyword is justin. Justin
is the keyword. Because we haven't talked about this in
a while. I mean we talked about it earlier this morning,
but dude, you were featured on Channel five twice last
(00:28):
night at five and again at eleven.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
I watched the five o'clock one with Maria Stefano. Shout
out to her, and I just watched the eleven o'clock
one online. Oh you have it.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
It's it different, It's different, Okay, I mean you to
see it.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Yeah, there's there's more of it. So yeah, amazing job
by her. And I want to thank her for in
our whole team, for coming and talking to me and
you know, telling my story. See you guys know my story.
I mean, you know all the crazy story. I mean,
Winnie and I do an after show. I talk about
all that kind of raw stuff. But you know, to
sit down in kind of a one on one setting
(00:59):
and kind of go into more detail. Was not easy
to do, but I thought it was important. It's important
to get that message out, and Maria did a beautiful
job presenting it. Michelle and I both cried on the couch,
a lot of crying. My phone hasn't stopped since then. Obviously,
my wife and I cried. You know, when it happened.
I kind of lost it a little bit because we've
(01:19):
been through a lot, you know, we've been through a
lot together, and to get to this moment, you know,
I'm living my dream on the radio. She's living her
dream as a nurse, you know, and.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
Then your dream together of owning a home and having children.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Yeah, Oh, it's just really cool.
Speaker 6 (01:32):
Hey, justin just felt like I needed to call. The
story about you and Jen was incredible. The biggest one,
the biggest plath for me was that you got you
walked by people on the ground when you went to
the garden, and nobody that you worked with knew that
that was you in the past. That was the biggest,
the most emotional part of watching that incredible story.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Keep up the great work.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
Yeah, as someone that works with you every day, we
talk about your past, but like I don't think it
always resonates how real it was for you, because for me,
it's just stories from like fifteen years ago, right, Yeah,
and I make them funny.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Yeah, you know, it wasn't funny at the time. It's
funny to look back at them now. But yeah, I
spent a good amount of time on the streets in Boston,
living at Saint Francis House, living at Kingston House, being
kicked out of those places, kicked out of the shelter,
and having nowhere to go, Sleeping on the Boston common,
you know what I mean, every day trying to get
a bed, a free care bed, no health insurance, right,
(02:24):
had no money, and I would sleep on the bench
and I would try to sleep, get up. I'd go
ask someone for a quarter to call the detox at
seven am and they would say, sorry, justin no beds today,
call back tomorrow. Oh my god, day after day. So
I remember those moments. So, yes, that's why I brought
it up, because you know, we go out a lot. Yeah,
we're in Boston. We see those people, and I'm like,
(02:44):
I don't think they really understand.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Yeah, so we do, trust me, we do.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Now.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Maria teased the eleven o'clock because it was a totally
separate piece covering different materials, So how different was it?
Speaker 3 (02:58):
I go more into you know, when I was growing up,
my love of radio, listening to this show while I
was incarcerated studying kind of the breakdown of the show
just because I was a fan. And then you know,
getting out and going back to college and Northern Essex
and all that. So I go more into detail. I mean,
you have to remember when I got cleaned with my wife,
I lived in a rooming house. We had no cars,
(03:19):
we had no money, we had nothing, you know, and
she's stuck by me the entire time. She watched my
kind of ride and then she got on her journey.
You know, she loved me when I was three hundred
and fifty pounds. Imagine that when the dollar menu was
my best friend, you know, and she never said anything
to me, she never judged me. She loved me through it,
and you know, I love her. So I had to
(03:40):
give her a good shout out because she's so important.
So I'm guessing I probably ended pretty well. No, she's
sick as a dog.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Oh God, bad timing as a dog.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Shout out to everybody.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Hi, justin.
Speaker 7 (03:52):
I don't usually watch Channel five News at five. But
I did because I wanted to see you and hear
your story. I am, I'm so proud of you. I
I just can't. I mean, you brought me to tears.
Keep up what you're doing and you are great. And again,
I I just I'm.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
Just so proud of you.
Speaker 7 (04:11):
Take you, love you.
Speaker 4 (04:12):

of this whole thing. I came in this morning now

four am, and there were about one hundred and fifty
talkbacks and there's even.
Speaker 4 (04:24):

Speaker 3 (04:25):
So well, then we go, you've trained them like they
saw my piece and they knew. Oh I got to
leave a talk back. Yeah they did.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Well, that's the Billy and Lisa show has a dedicated follower.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
I have to ask, did your parents watch my mother?
Speaker 3 (04:38):
My mother did. She was very very emotional. Yeah, very emotional.
I don't know if my dad saw yet. It's kind
of a you know, I love my dad, but you
know it's a touchy subject.
Speaker 8 (04:47):
Yeah, talk about my pastes.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
It he will. He's super proud of me, I know,
but you know it's it's tough. Man. But your brother
and my brother did not message me yet. But these
are touchy, touchy subjects.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
I gotta tell you though, and I don't want to
get involved. But if it's a touchy subject, you dad
should watch.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
I think you will. No, I know he will. I
know he's proud of me.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
But you know, get it more.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
You know, I put him through a lot, but he
was always he was always the one to come visit me,
you know, and never turned his back on me.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
So there you go.

Speaker 3 (06:18):
Okay, all right, weird stories next. You ever wonder how
much they'll pay you to use your house and a
TV show or movie? I'll find out.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Mexicans Kiss went Away seems a little weird to make.
Speaker 8 (06:28):
Oh my god, it's.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Time for weird stories.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
I'm pretty creepy.
Speaker 10 (06:32):
With Billy and Lisa in the morning.
Speaker 9 (06:35):
Okay, So have you ever wondered how much someone would
get paid when a TV show or a movie wants
to use their house? While there's a new Prime documentary
called The House from and a woman tells us how
much she got when Breaking Bad used her place.
Speaker 11 (06:51):
My name is Christine Brennan, and I used to own
Jesse's mentioned from the Breaking Bed series.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
So we're going to cook it.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
No, we're not going to cook here.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Okay, this is my house.
Speaker 11 (07:03):
If they needed to come into the house, they would
pay me five hundred dollars for the day. If they
filmed they would pay two thousand a day.
Speaker 12 (07:13):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Man, if they.
Speaker 11 (07:15):
Don't film any more than fourteen days, I don't have
to pay in gum taxes. Oh at that point my
son was in high school and I was able to
buy them a car.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Oh, no tax thing is key. Oh that's huge, that's huge.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
I mean she could have made like thirty grand and
didn't have to pay any money.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
How do I get my house on a TV show
or movie?
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Yeah, I gotta tell you years ago, Lisia, you'll remember
the show Melrose Place. When I used to go out
to La I'd go to the cul de Sac where
the exteriors were all shot, and I would hear stories
from the homeowners thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars
and they weren't even using the interior of the house,
just outside to use the exteriors for scenes or for
the opening.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
Of the I always wondered, like when they opened the door,
because you know a lot of the inside stuff a
sound stage because you know whatever. But when they open
that door, like like you walk, need to be outside,
you know what I mean? Those to me, that's when
they probably use it, like oh, were walking the door
leaving the place.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Right yeah, oh yeah, I know. And it's really just
a luck thing, you know, if they choose your house.
Speaker 8 (08:18):
I just want to know my house is available in Milton.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Anything I have is available. You can use my car.
Oh yeah, the boat, yeah, take the boat, take the boat.
Speaker 11 (08:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
But don't go to the bathroom on Bill's boat. Big no, no, well,
Mark Wahlberg, Well he dropped the.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
Gangster, but he was paying to be there. He paid
you for it.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
He took the toilet right off the wall.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Right, what you got?
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Okay, we see this happen all the time. Right when
a truck hits an overpass. Ye, Well, this particular truck
hit the overpass, you know, the mass Have overpass on
Memorial Drive. Yes, the problem is this truck was carrying
used porta potties.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Now let's go to NBC ten Boston. Our old friend
Colton Bradford could.
Speaker 13 (09:03):
Have been pretty messy during this morning's commuting Cambridge.
Speaker 10 (09:07):
Take a look at what ended up in the road.
Speaker 13 (09:10):
Yep, that's not just one porta potty Folks at home,
that's two. Won't count them right there? Yep, pair of
porta potties got stir road. Our photo journalist Mark Garfinkel
was there. He actually witnessed this whole thing happened Memorial
Drive in Cambridge, near that massive overpass, says the porta
potties hit the overpass and sell off the truck carrying
them just like that.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
I'm assuming they were empty. Stinky project.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
They have a reporter named Art Garfunkel's Art Garfuncle was
he the part of our Simon and garfun I think
you heard that rong. I'm telling you. They said Garfunkel.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Now it was Martin something, wasn't that?
Speaker 4 (09:51):
No, Okay, so that's what you.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Took from that story. That's all with you.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Yeah, Bridge over, go ahead.
Speaker 5 (10:02):
I didn't know this, but apparently Boston was used to
be known for dessert called coffee jelly.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Have you ever heard of this?
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Bill?
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Never heard of it.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
It goes back to the eighteen hundreds, Okay, so it's
kind of it's been forgotten, all right.
Speaker 5 (10:13):
So it's coffee mixed with gelatine to give it a
jelly consistency, and then you chop it off with whipped cream.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
So based on that, it's like coffee jelly.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
I don't know. Wbz R sister station. They send someone
out on the streets there to talk to people about
what they think about coffee jelly.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Yeah, that's coffee jelly.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
It's fine.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
I don't think the flavor is that even I can't
even really taste it that much.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
With the whipped cream. That's actually not really bad at all.
I kind of like this.
Speaker 8 (10:39):
The only good part about that is the whipped cream.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
I like my coffee black, and you can really taste
the sugar here.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
So not my style. I would eat it.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
The boy that must have been a slow news day.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
He's ruining.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Me.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
And I know you've got a bonus story. So we're
talking about goarfunk back to that. We weren't a right there.
So picture this. So it's a truck that hit an
overpass on Memorial Drive.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
I know what you're gonna say.
Speaker 1 (11:11):

Speaker 3 (14:04):

Speaker 1 (14:05):
It's your major what's your biggest joint.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
He didn't get a replacement, he got kind of a scope. Yeah,

Speaker 1 (14:13):
Hip of all black and blue.
Speaker 10 (14:15):
Now the entertainment update with the Billy Copston.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Yeah, it's selection day. No bigger story than that. Today,
Sa Kamala Harrison, former President Trump, wrapped up the campaigns.
They were out late last night because it all comes
down to the vote. So the White House, the balance
of power up for grabs today, the Senate, the House,
all of that. We've been talking about the ballot questions
here in Massachusetts. A lot to talk about there. In fact,
(14:41):
right after nine o'clock we tackled question three. Earlier this morning,
right after nine o'clock. My buddy Andy husbands and owns
all the smoke shops, bunch of restaurants. He's got a
bunch of people working for him, tipping workers, so to speak.
So he's going to call in and we'll talk about
question five. Okay, but again, it is election day, get
out there and vote. Yesterday we talked about Jason Kelcey.
(15:04):
Remember he slapped the cell phone out of that guy's
hand at the Penn State game of the other day.
Yesterday he decided to apologize.
Speaker 15 (15:12):
Listen, I'm not happy with anything who took place. I'm
not proud of it. And you know, in a heated moment,
I chose to greet hate with hate, and I just
don't think that that's a productive thing. I really don't.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
I got to tell you, I thought he was right
to hit the phone out of the kid's hands, but
now I think he's right to apologize.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
Well, he's a classy guy, and I think he was
met with a lot, like he said, hate, and he
was defending his brother. He was defending his personal space
because that boy was all up in his growth for
no reason. He's a very kind person to people, like
It's well documented with fans and just in general with teammates.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Everyone loves this guy. His reputation precedes him.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
So I mean, it's one of those things. Right, he
smashed the phone in that moment. Right after he did it,
he thought to himself, damn it.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
Right, why did I do that?
Speaker 5 (16:04):
Yeah, and think about it, They've been like you know,
typical football players for you know, ten ten years, both
of them, and the last couple of years between the
super Bowl with both of them in it, and then
they're in the podcast, and then their mom and then
now the tailor's situation.
Speaker 8 (16:18):
Their position has definitely changed, right.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
Right, Yeah, being a famous football player is different than
being where they're at, right exactly.
Speaker 8 (16:25):
It's a different level.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
And here's the deal.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
The idiot that was hackling them is always going to
be an idiot. Yeah, I means change. Yeah. Travis Kelcey
and the Chiefs are still undefeated this morning. Pretty wild game.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Last night.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Baker Mayfield took the team the Bucks, down the field
for a game tying drive with seconds left in the game,
but the Chiefs won the coin toss for the overtime
and got possession and they won the game thirty twenty
four with the finals. So the Chiefs this morning, eight and.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Oh they find a way every time they find a way.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Taylor was at the game.
Speaker 8 (17:01):
Yes, she was wearing her denim shorts and cowboy boots.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
I love that look on her.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Yeah, that's her new look, right, it's always the shorts
and the high cowboy great legs. She does wrong legs, yeah, Shuma, yeah. Yeah.
She wrapped up the US leg of the Era's tour
and in a few weeks. I think it's November fourteenth,
she'll arrive, she'll do shows in Toronto, Canada. Just denounced
Kelly Clarkson going to host the tree lighting at the
(17:27):
Rockefeller Center up.
Speaker 16 (17:29):
I'm especially excited though, because for the second year in
a row, I'm actually going to host Christmas and Rockefellers.
Speaker 7 (17:38):
It's the live two hour special December.
Speaker 16 (17:41):
Fourth at eight pm Eastern on NBCM Peacock, filled with
the best music, starts at in surprises, and of course
the lighting of the world famous Christmas tree that is
so special.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
And the Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center this year is
from Massachusetts.
Speaker 5 (17:56):
At height west Stockbridge, which I one hundred and forty
miles from Manhattan.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
So I think it's like giving like you know, the
Berkshires or something, but.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
Far from here. Out there, they're cutting it down Thursday
and transporting it to New York City.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
And it gives us living here more of a chance
or more of an excuse to go for the tree lighting.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
All people travel from all over you see the tree, No,
there's there's there's a couple from Denmark that flew all
the way here to see the tree in westock Bridge,
yeow tree in New York to see it here where
it came from.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
Wow, Okay, that's that's that's interact level each is on.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
I guess yeah, and you know, I mean the Rockefeller
Center tree lighting. It's a little corny, but I think
everybody should try to see it once there.
Speaker 8 (18:40):
It's such a tradition and we've done ice skating. Yeah,
it's actually really fun.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
Do you guys remember a few years ago the tree
was like sickly looking? Do you remember that? It was
like a travesty the tree that they picked.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Yeah, it was an embarrassment.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
They had to fill it with.
Speaker 5 (18:53):
Like Yeah, I wonder if because they take it like
a month before, like at that leaves room for era
where like the tree couts to die.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Maybe they pick it too early. Yeah, you know, but
it looks beautiful now. Yeah, I was looking to pictures
of it today. Looks great. Uh you know what looks beautiful.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
It's our tree right here in the studio.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
Our little fake Christmas tree that's been up since September.
Speaker 3 (19:14):

He was in the Martha documentary that you guys have
to watch.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
It's amazing.
Speaker 4 (20:07):

Speaker 8 (20:19):
Yes, it's in the documentary that Yep, he was.
Speaker 9 (20:22):
High as high as he just smoking the whole roast
and she was sitting right next to him and kept
getting higher and higher too.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
It's a really cute story.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
Oh one were time on Netflix. I watched started watching
last night. They had the new Dirty Pop, which is
about lou Perlman and the back Street Boys and Sync.
It's pretty good. Oh yeah, I fell asleep, but I
gotta go back and finish it.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
I'm going to see that. But I watched Martha Tooley's.
I thought it was amazingly good, amazing amazingly well done.
I got to be honest. When the Olympic game started
right and Snoop was there, I didn't get it. Like,
I didn't think it was a good fit. I'm like,
I don't get it. Snoop at the Olympic Games. By
the end of the Olympic Games, I fell in love
with him. I thought he was fabulous.
Speaker 8 (21:03):
He's entertaining.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
So you're talking about horses like crip walking on.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
The weekend. Is trying another movie project. It's a movie
called Hurry Up Tomorrow, same title as his upcoming album.
It's a musically driven, psychological thriller. He's in the movie,
by the way, and so are Jenna Ortego. Who I
think is really good, and a Barry key Ogan, who
I think is really weird.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
He's a weird He's a method actor for sure.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Yeah, yeah, I don't really agree with this. I love
the Weekend, but after the Idol, I never want to
see him act again ever.
Speaker 8 (21:35):
He just are you surprised that he's going back?
Speaker 3 (21:39):
I'm really surprised. Maybe he's not going to be a
lead role, maybe kind of a you know, a side part,
but justin he shouldn't.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
Be an extra. You should not even be in the
That man was the creepiest, Yeah, the creepiest thing.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
It's amazing that somebody that can make the best sex
music could then act and make sex like last thing
you wanted.
Speaker 5 (22:02):
When you say that he does not make the best, Yeah,
he's very popular to work out too.
Speaker 1 (22:10):

that song? Is there something else I should know about
a Viccy?
Speaker 3 (23:21):
Oh my god, he's a legendary DJ. Legendary. I mean
that was his biggest song, but he had several different songs.
I mean he was a pioneer in ed M music
and bringing it to pop to pop radio.
Speaker 5 (23:32):
Well, it's funny you say that, because every time I
think of that song, I think of Al Black. I
don't think of right, but it's it's a Vichy song.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Yep. I watched the documentary they had made previously on him.
He was amazing. He had a lot of struggles, a
lot of mental health struggles, committed suicide. Very sad, but

the Bieber Roast. That's when they got together.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Martha is so old.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Her first period was the Renaissance.
Speaker 10 (24:23):
We we're back with Villy and Lisa in the morning
on Kiss.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
We're back. We've got a third shot at the sold
out jingle Ball. I've got a pair of tickets right
now for College twenty five six, one, seven.
Speaker 12 (24:34):
Eight.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
You will need the keyword, and the keyword producer Riley
is barbecue. Barbecue is the keyword. And well we wait
for college twenty five. I've got my buddy, Andy Husband's
on the phone. Good morning Andy, Good morning. So Andy
husbands owns it. Well, he's been a chef, a successful
chef in Boston for years and years. But you want
(24:56):
a bunch of smoke shops, how many do you have
now Andy, of.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Four and a couple more coming Withthuin is next. 'very excited?
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Oh mazouin. Justin is coming to your neighborhood.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Oh yeah, I love barbecue.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Okay, So four with more on the way. How many
employees right now, Andy, we're about one.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Hundred and fifty. I think by the end of next
year we'll be close to two hundred and fifty.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
And today is election Day and there's been a lot
of talk about the ballot questions. You Andy, have been
really really outspoken on question five and you're insisting that
everybody vote no on question five. Explain it and tell
me why.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Okay, First of all, make sure you turn over that
ballot and got all the way down to question five,
because it is on the back of the ballot. So
this question five was brought to us by a group
out of California, which I find bizarre that a California
group can try to change Massachusetts laws.
Speaker 12 (25:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Basically, if this path is what you're going to see,
is it's going to put restaurants in a predicament where
they're going to have to change how service done. It
could mean more QR codes, it could mean restaurants going
out of business. Prices will definitely have to go up.
Some say it's highest twenty percent, and it is not
(26:11):
going to do what they want, which what they want
is to make it more fair or equal back in
the house, front of the house and living wages. I
will tell you at our restaurants, our servers make thirty
to forty dollars an hour. Well, so it's a good living.
They work hard, they're awesome. And ninety percent of those
surveyed in Massachusetts servers and bartenders are against this, and
(26:38):
so we're sticking with our employees. And since they are
against it, we are a no on five.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
So Andy, you know, I've seen a lot of coverage
on question five, and I've also seen some people in
the hospitality industry, even weight people who said they're going
to vote yes on question five. So what would you
say to.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Them, Well, it's about math. I don't know if everybody
wants to do math. But look the way it works.
Now I can't touch a tip, then that's fine. I
like it the way it is. You know, Matthew Supreme
Court says, hey, would you tip somebody? You need to
go to a customer facing person that's a server of
bargend or a runner, those kind of people with this
(27:20):
law change if I have to pay, and I'll just
speak bluntly as an owner, if I have to pay,
if I have to pay all of our employees tips,
employees middim wage, which also, by the way, they do
make thirty to forty dollars an hour, if that has
to change, is that wipes out all proceeds any profit
for the business? Wow? What so as an owner, I
(27:45):
have to make a hard decision and that's not that's
not so. Then we have to take the tips and
reallocate and do stuff there. What I found funny is
John Tester from the Boston Globe, great writer. He said,
there's little to no evidence that any server has supported
any bartender in front of the house person and supported
(28:07):
the yes question.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Yeah. Financially, it's very hard to find someone that's yes
on question five.
Speaker 12 (28:16):
Right.
Speaker 5 (28:17):
I feel like, and Andy, sorry to overseek, but I
feel like, you know, I used to be a server,
and I think you would not get tips. I think
you are thinking, oh, they'll get tips on top of
the minimum wage. But people won't tip like they used
to if they know you're making minimum.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Wage exactly and because it's it's going to financially stress
the restaurants. Restaurant owners. You know, we're not billionaires, we're
a millionaires. We're hard working people right that are out here,
you know, living in the American tream, restaurants in an
American dream. But I'm going to tell you, so they're
(28:52):
going to tip less, and how are restaurant's going to
survive if they don't? Where does this come from? So
you're saying you're telling a business to pay somebody more
where they're already making a fair amount of money, and
where did that money come from? Be honest, right, it's
going to come from the customer. That means you're going to.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Pay more, right, Yeah, that's a bottom line. It's got
to happen, right, Yeah, you.
Speaker 5 (29:19):
Think about you can choose what you're tipping somebody, or
you can have the restaurant tell you how much you
have to pay for everything so that they can afford
the server.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
And you know, I'm not just making this stuff up.
This happened in Washington, DC. Yeah, they've lost something like
thirty eight hundred jobs in a year front of house jobs.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Yeah, and you know I was talking to somebody else, Andy,
maybe it was even you, and you said, when you're
going into the ballot box and looking at these ballot questions,
especially question five, make sure you read it very carefully
because sometimes they're written in such a way that they
want you to vote in a certain way. Am I
wrong there?
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Yes? Yeah. Look if I knew nothing and I just
read that thing out, be like, yeah, of course, yeah,
of course I want to you know, I want people
to be paid more. But I would ask everybody anytime
that someone's asking for more money, where do you think
that money's coming from. It's coming from the taxpayer, one
way or another. Right back at you know, when when
(30:14):
everybody voted for you know, free range pigs, which is
fine and I support it. Seventy percent of Massachusetts supported it.
That's question three. A few years ago, what happened the
prices went up by a dollar dollar fifty pound for
your bacon? You know, they don't say, hey, do you
want this? And do you also want to pay a
dollar fifty more pound on your bacon? Right?
Speaker 3 (30:35):
They left that part on.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
Well, Andy, the polls are open and it is election day,
and again I can't stress enough everybody listening, please go
out and vote and pay close attention to the ballot
questions because each of those.
Speaker 8 (30:48):
They really affect us here, they pertain to you and your.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
State of Massachusetts. Andy, I love you, Thank you, sir.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Agreee.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Smoke shops amazing, by the way, delicious. Oh my god,
barbecue is insane.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
Nothing like good barbecue.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
You could go to any one of his smoke shops
and just have a lunch on a piece of his
corn bread.
Speaker 4 (31:07):
Oh I love corn bread.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
His corner is magical.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
I'll have to try it.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Oh yeah, let's go to Vanessa. Vanessa your color twenty five?
No way, really absolutely? What's the key word?
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Barbecue?
Speaker 3 (31:22):
I go for some barbecue right now. I just tell you, barbecuelo.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
So listen, you got yourself a pair of tickets to
jingle Ball. Okay, that's a fact. But you also qualify
for the jackpot, which is front row seats for front
row seats and a shot at one hundred eight thousand dollars.
I'm so consumed by barbecue. I can't even speak, you know,
but hold on and producer Riley is standing by. She'll
(31:47):
talk to you. We'll see you with jingle Ball.
Speaker 8 (31:49):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
Okay, that congratulations Vanessa twelve ten is your next shot
at the jingle ball jack Up Jackpot. It's been a
busy morning. We'll wrap it all up next one.
Speaker 10 (31:58):
Kiss Kids, one Away. It's the morning wrap up on
Billy and Lisa in the morning.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
Well, it's Tuesday, November fifth, election day, big day, not
the election day, my guy. Oh, get out and vote.
If you have not listened, if you don't vote, then
you can't complain, right, that's how it goes.
Speaker 5 (32:16):
Justin can I ask you something because you live in
New Hampshire and none of us do. We've been talking
about the Massachusetts questions. We have so many New Hampshire listeners.
Are there questions there that they need to know about?
Speaker 3 (32:28):
Is that a serious question? Is a thing called Google?
You can go on there and look at Yeah, ask
mister Google. Yeah, thank you for that.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
I'll be glad to not see another New Hampshire political commercial.
Speaker 3 (32:41):
Oh, there's so many.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
More than Massachusetts. It was unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
I know, the Aaron Yeah, I know, yeah, I know.
It's pretty crazy. So, yeah, it's election day, get out
there and vote. And there's a couple of there's five
questions in Massachusetts. We were on top of a couple
of them. The first one is the Uber driver Lyft drivers. Right,
can they unionize or not? We were kind of torn
on this no, yes, We like really weren't sure, you know.
Speaker 10 (33:02):
Good morning everyone.
Speaker 17 (33:04):
I am on my way to vote, and I have
to say no for question three because it's a contract job.
And I think once you get the union involved, you
will see higher prices and then it becomes more of
a controlled environment, and then you.
Speaker 12 (33:21):
Have the union dues.
Speaker 17 (33:22):
I think it's just going to change the whole structure
of what Uber and Lyft is. I feel like it
works as it is leave it alone.
Speaker 9 (33:31):
Yeah, it's kind of like getting the government involved, right,
they like the freedom of not having that.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
We got some yesa's. I feel like we got a
lot more knows. We did meet people that were against,
you know, being able to unionize.
Speaker 18 (33:43):
As someone who just went through a union process, as
like a supervisor, I would just tell people to really
look into the contract and be very careful because the
union just wants you on their side, so they will
make it seem like you're making more money, but you
might not actually be making more money. So I just
(34:06):
tell the Uber people to be very careful and very
specific when reading through their contract.
Speaker 5 (34:12):
That makes a lot of sense because if you think
about how these other union work, it's they're making way
more money an hour than when an Uber driver's making
and that's why they can afford to put into the union.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
Right.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
All I know is I love Uber and LYFT. I
think they've made such a difference in the world. Oh, absolutely, absolutely,
they work hard. We also touched on question five for
the tipped workers, you know, raising the minimum wage to
fifteen dollars. We had Andy Husbands on from the Smoke
Shop Barbecue. I love barbecue, but we.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
Had him on. You know, Billy is the restaurant guys
worked in restaurants for in the restaurant industry for a
lot of years. So we had Andy Husband's on to
you know, give his message out about question five.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
I will tell you, at our restaurants, our servers make
thirty to forty dollars an hour. Well, so it's a
good living. Ninety percent of those surveyed in Massachusetts servers
and bartender are against this.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
There you go get out and vote.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
You gotta get out and vote.
Speaker 3 (35:06):
You gotta get out and vote, I mean, you know,
or there's no whining and there's no whining, no complaining
if you don't go, That's all I'm saying. So Channel
five ran a piece on me and my story last
night at five o'clock. At eleven o'clock, I have to
say that, you know, when Maria Stefanos, who is amazing,
the first celebrity I ever met as an intern, you know,
she was a celebrity to me when she came in
(35:27):
that first week, I was like, oh my god, yeah,
and I know because I have a Facebook memories and
I posted it. I was so excited that I just
met Maria Stefano. So I showed her and told her
when she came in. But when she reached out and
asked me, I said, of course, I would love to
tell my story. Thank you. I never anticipated they would
get this much attention. It's been great. So many people
(35:50):
have been reaching out last night this morning, just amazing.
I want to say thank you, and I hope that
you know my message was received.
Speaker 12 (35:57):
Good morning everybody. Lucy here just wanted to let just
to know that I watched the five o'clock news last
night and saw his piece. Absolutely amazing. We've known some
of the story for a while now, and I think
you're awesome. I do have the eleven o'clock recorded so
I can watch it later when I get home, but
I'm sure it'll be just as awesome as the first part.
(36:19):
Justin kudos to you.
Speaker 10 (36:21):
We love you, You're the best.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
You can find the second part on YouTube. I watched
it this morning. I did not stay up to see it,
but listen it's I'm not looking for accolades and all
that stuff. I just want to put out the message
that you know, I've been at the bottom. You know,
I deal with addiction still to this to this day.
Every single day. There's a lot of people out there struggling,
don't think they can get clean, and I want to
(36:42):
let them know that they can and they can achieve
their dreams. I did it, and if I'm telling if
I can do it, they can.
Speaker 12 (36:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (36:49):
I'm just saying I.
Speaker 19 (36:50):
Want to say thank you for sharing your story on
Channel five. You guys brought me to tears by. Your
story really inspired me, especially where you inspired Gen to
go back to school too to become an RN. I
am now looking at the schools today to become an RN.
(37:11):
So I just want to say thank you to you both.
Even if my challenges were different than yours. Now I'm
looking into it, so thank you.
Speaker 3 (37:19):
Wow, that's one of the greatest yours. When people DM
me and say, you know, I heard you talk about
your recovery, I'm sixty days clean, I'm a year clean,
you know, or they reach out to power of recovery
who I work with, you know, it's just it's amazing.

let us know, let us learn.

you know we're gonna say goodbye in a couple of minutes.
But you know talkbacks that get sent in and don't play,
this is the time that I can play them every
day at this time. It's called talkback leftovers because a
lot of people they leave a talkback, you know, they
record their voice on the iHeartRadio app and then comes
in and then they don't hear it, and they're like,
what the hell? This is where you shine.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
And some people wake up late they may have missed
some talkbacks earlier in the day.

So yeah, there you go. And it's election day, so
get out and vote. Hey, guys, Shawn and Boston here
reaching out to implore you to get out there and

He's one of the influencers hubsts as we call him
on on your TV show.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
Yeah. Now, him and Whinnie had a little feud. They
resolved it, but at the time when he tried to
shame him, and then he said to Winnie, Whinnie, I
have fifty thousand Instagram followers, you have eighteen. Now he
has one hundred and three thousand, when he has twenty.
Speaker 4 (39:24):
I got three more thousand.
Speaker 3 (39:25):
We had a big laugh about that.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
You don't pick one.
Speaker 4 (39:28):
No, he's a nice guy, him and I DM he's
really sweet. He is a good guy.
Speaker 3 (39:32):
Yeah, so shout out to him. We had a story
in Bill's Entertainment about Blake Shelton. Oh yeah, apparently he's
gaining some weight, that's what they're saying. Yeah, and Gwen
Stefani is a little bit concerned that he's, you know,
put on too much weight.
Speaker 12 (39:46):
So yeah, when Stefani posted video of her homemade pasta
on her Instagram feed, I think she might be part
of the problem.
Speaker 8 (39:57):
You know what, I think, You're right?
Speaker 3 (39:58):
Yeah, yeah, feeding the guy. I guess he's eating pulled
pork sandwiches.
Speaker 4 (40:03):
That sounds really good, right, now after we just had
the barbecue guy on, I told.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
Him you should try the chicken pot pie at the
ninety nine.
Speaker 3 (40:10):
I'm just saying, Oh, there's nothing better than pot pie.
Let me tell you it's hard though. That's something, you know,
Southern food, all the carbs. Oh, it's so good.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
I gotta tell you the Blake's sholling handsome guy, he's
very handsome.
Speaker 3 (40:22):
Yeah, you know what, eat all you want, Blake.
Speaker 1 (40:25):
Yeah, you always have you all you want on a day.

You guys never fail to make me laugh, and I
know so many others too.
Speaker 18 (40:39):
I just adore you guys. You really are amazing.
Speaker 12 (40:42):
Go vote.
Speaker 5 (40:43):
You know what's so funny is that all of us
are like very anxious people, making people that are anxious
and not feel anxious.
Speaker 4 (40:49):
But we all have anxiety.
Speaker 1 (40:50):
Oh I'm I'm.
Speaker 3 (40:53):
Anxiety.
Speaker 4 (40:54):
I literally have anxiety as we speak. That's a good point, anxious.
Speaker 3 (41:00):
Group of people. Yeah, well you know what it works,
really does.
Speaker 8 (41:04):
I'm glad that we can help people.
Speaker 3 (41:05):
Yeah, can someone help me might be helpless.
Speaker 2 (41:10):
I'm just saying, good morning listening to yesterday's podcast on
Red Flags.
Speaker 4 (41:15):
I'm going to keep it real simple.
Speaker 8 (41:17):
Here my red flag when it comes to dating, being
a man, have a great day?
Speaker 3 (41:25):
A little blunt man up, I guess, so it's wrong
with men. Some man walks into a bar.
Speaker 20 (41:31):
There's an old joke, and there's a beautiful woman sitting
at the bar, and they sit and have a drink together,
and she leans over and says, I want you to
make me feel like a real wand and he takes
off his jacket and he says, I need this iron.
Speaker 4 (41:47):
Oh my gosh, can you stop? What is wrong with you?
Speaker 1 (41:57):
Important things?
Speaker 3 (41:58):
Go out and vote.
Speaker 14 (42:00):
Vote.
Speaker 1 (42:01):
We gotta go. You know why we all have to
go vote. It's election day. I forgot to have a
great day, everybody. I hope everything turns out the way
you want it to turn out. But again, you gotta
get out. You got to make a decision. You got
to make a voter.
Speaker 3 (42:14):
There's no whining.
Speaker 1 (42:15):
Okay, we'll see you tomorrow morning. Don't forget. We'll have
three shots at the jingle ball jackprot In fact, the
Mighty one is gonna have one at twelve ten today.
Speaker 3 (42:23):
We'll see you.
Speaker 1 (42:24):
Have a great day, everybody. By now,
Thank I so welcome back. We've got some dingle ball tickets.
Why not? This is a completely sold out show. You
want to be a jingle ball okay?
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (00:07):
Six one seven Caller twenty five gets the tickets, providing
you know the keyword, and the keyword is justin. Justin
is the keyword. Because we haven't talked about this in
a while. I mean we talked about it earlier this morning,
but dude, you were featured on Channel five twice last
(00:28):
night at five and again at eleven.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
I watched the five o'clock one with Maria Stefano. Shout
out to her, and I just watched the eleven o'clock
one online. Oh you have it.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
It's it different, It's different, Okay, I mean you to
see it.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Yeah, there's there's more of it. So yeah, amazing job
by her. And I want to thank her for in
our whole team, for coming and talking to me and
you know, telling my story. See you guys know my story.
I mean, you know all the crazy story. I mean,
Winnie and I do an after show. I talk about
all that kind of raw stuff. But you know, to
sit down in kind of a one on one setting
(00:59):
and kind of go into more detail. Was not easy
to do, but I thought it was important. It's important
to get that message out, and Maria did a beautiful
job presenting it. Michelle and I both cried on the couch,
a lot of crying. My phone hasn't stopped since then. Obviously,
my wife and I cried. You know, when it happened.
I kind of lost it a little bit because we've
(01:19):
been through a lot, you know, we've been through a
lot together, and to get to this moment, you know,
I'm living my dream on the radio. She's living her
dream as a nurse, you know, and.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
Then your dream together of owning a home and having children.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Yeah, Oh, it's just really cool.
Speaker 6 (01:32):
Hey, justin just felt like I needed to call. The
story about you and Jen was incredible. The biggest one,
the biggest plath for me was that you got you
walked by people on the ground when you went to
the garden, and nobody that you worked with knew that
that was you in the past. That was the biggest,
the most emotional part of watching that incredible story.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Keep up the great work.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
Yeah, as someone that works with you every day, we
talk about your past, but like I don't think it
always resonates how real it was for you, because for me,
it's just stories from like fifteen years ago, right, Yeah,
and I make them funny.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Yeah, you know, it wasn't funny at the time. It's
funny to look back at them now. But yeah, I
spent a good amount of time on the streets in Boston,
living at Saint Francis House, living at Kingston House, being
kicked out of those places, kicked out of the shelter,
and having nowhere to go, Sleeping on the Boston common,
you know what I mean, every day trying to get
a bed, a free care bed, no health insurance, right,
(02:24):
had no money, and I would sleep on the bench
and I would try to sleep, get up. I'd go
ask someone for a quarter to call the detox at
seven am and they would say, sorry, justin no beds today,
call back tomorrow. Oh my god, day after day. So
I remember those moments. So, yes, that's why I brought
it up, because you know, we go out a lot. Yeah,
we're in Boston. We see those people, and I'm like,
(02:44):
I don't think they really understand.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Yeah, so we do, trust me, we do.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Now.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Maria teased the eleven o'clock because it was a totally
separate piece covering different materials, So how different was it?
Speaker 3 (02:58):
I go more into you know, when I was growing up,
my love of radio, listening to this show while I
was incarcerated studying kind of the breakdown of the show
just because I was a fan. And then you know,
getting out and going back to college and Northern Essex
and all that. So I go more into detail. I mean,
you have to remember when I got cleaned with my wife,
I lived in a rooming house. We had no cars,
(03:19):
we had no money, we had nothing, you know, and
she's stuck by me the entire time. She watched my
kind of ride and then she got on her journey.
You know, she loved me when I was three hundred
and fifty pounds. Imagine that when the dollar menu was
my best friend, you know, and she never said anything
to me, she never judged me. She loved me through it,
and you know, I love her. So I had to
(03:40):
give her a good shout out because she's so important.
So I'm guessing I probably ended pretty well. No, she's
sick as a dog.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Oh God, bad timing as a dog.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Shout out to everybody.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Hi, justin.
Speaker 7 (03:52):
I don't usually watch Channel five News at five. But
I did because I wanted to see you and hear
your story. I am, I'm so proud of you. I
I just can't. I mean, you brought me to tears.
Keep up what you're doing and you are great. And again,
I I just I'm.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
Just so proud of you.
Speaker 7 (04:11):
Take you, love you.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
But bye.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Can I just tell you one of my favorite parts
of this whole thing. I came in this morning now
my piece air last night. I came in this morning
four am, and there were about one hundred and fifty
talkbacks and there's even.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
More trained them.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
So well, then we go, you've trained them like they
saw my piece and they knew. Oh I got to
leave a talk back. Yeah they did.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Well, that's the Billy and Lisa show has a dedicated follower.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
I have to ask, did your parents watch my mother?
Speaker 3 (04:38):
My mother did. She was very very emotional. Yeah, very emotional.
I don't know if my dad saw yet. It's kind
of a you know, I love my dad, but you
know it's a touchy subject.
Speaker 8 (04:47):
Yeah, talk about my pastes.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
It he will. He's super proud of me, I know,
but you know it's it's tough. Man. But your brother
and my brother did not message me yet. But these
are touchy, touchy subjects.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
I gotta tell you though, and I don't want to
get involved. But if it's a touchy subject, you dad
should watch.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
I think you will. No, I know he will. I
know he's proud of me.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
But you know, get it more.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
You know, I put him through a lot, but he
was always he was always the one to come visit me,
you know, and never turned his back on me.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
So there you go.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Yeah, oh god, Justin.
Speaker 8 (05:17):
Yeah, it's incredible, Thank.

Speaker 3 (06:18):
Okay, all right, weird stories next. You ever wonder how
much they'll pay you to use your house and a
TV show or movie? I'll find out.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Mexicans Kiss went Away seems a little weird to make.
Speaker 8 (06:28):
Oh my god, it's.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Time for weird stories.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
I'm pretty creepy.
Speaker 10 (06:32):
With Billy and Lisa in the morning.
Speaker 9 (06:35):
Okay, So have you ever wondered how much someone would
get paid when a TV show or a movie wants
to use their house? While there's a new Prime documentary
called The House from and a woman tells us how
much she got when Breaking Bad used her place.
Speaker 11 (06:51):
My name is Christine Brennan, and I used to own
Jesse's mentioned from the Breaking Bed series.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
So we're going to cook it.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
No, we're not going to cook here.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Okay, this is my house.
Speaker 11 (07:03):
If they needed to come into the house, they would
pay me five hundred dollars for the day. If they
filmed they would pay two thousand a day.
Speaker 12 (07:13):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Man, if they.
Speaker 11 (07:15):
Don't film any more than fourteen days, I don't have
to pay in gum taxes. Oh at that point my
son was in high school and I was able to
buy them a car.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Oh, no tax thing is key. Oh that's huge, that's huge.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
I mean she could have made like thirty grand and
didn't have to pay any money.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
How do I get my house on a TV show
or movie?
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Yeah, I gotta tell you years ago, Lisia, you'll remember
the show Melrose Place. When I used to go out
to La I'd go to the cul de Sac where
the exteriors were all shot, and I would hear stories
from the homeowners thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars
and they weren't even using the interior of the house,
just outside to use the exteriors for scenes or for
the opening.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
Of the I always wondered, like when they opened the door,
because you know a lot of the inside stuff a
sound stage because you know whatever. But when they open
that door, like like you walk, need to be outside,
you know what I mean? Those to me, that's when
they probably use it, like oh, were walking the door
leaving the place.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Right yeah, oh yeah, I know. And it's really just
a luck thing, you know, if they choose your house.
Speaker 8 (08:18):
I just want to know my house is available in Milton.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Anything I have is available. You can use my car.
Oh yeah, the boat, yeah, take the boat, take the boat.
Speaker 11 (08:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
But don't go to the bathroom on Bill's boat. Big no, no, well,
Mark Wahlberg, Well he dropped the.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
Gangster, but he was paying to be there. He paid
you for it.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
He took the toilet right off the wall.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Right, what you got?
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Okay, we see this happen all the time. Right when
a truck hits an overpass. Ye, Well, this particular truck
hit the overpass, you know, the mass Have overpass on
Memorial Drive. Yes, the problem is this truck was carrying
used porta potties.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Now let's go to NBC ten Boston. Our old friend
Colton Bradford could.
Speaker 13 (09:03):
Have been pretty messy during this morning's commuting Cambridge.
Speaker 10 (09:07):
Take a look at what ended up in the road.
Speaker 13 (09:10):
Yep, that's not just one porta potty Folks at home,
that's two. Won't count them right there? Yep, pair of
porta potties got stir road. Our photo journalist Mark Garfinkel
was there. He actually witnessed this whole thing happened Memorial
Drive in Cambridge, near that massive overpass, says the porta
potties hit the overpass and sell off the truck carrying
them just like that.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
I'm assuming they were empty. Stinky project.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
They have a reporter named Art Garfunkel's Art Garfuncle was
he the part of our Simon and garfun I think
you heard that rong. I'm telling you. They said Garfunkel.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Now it was Martin something, wasn't that?
Speaker 4 (09:51):
No, Okay, so that's what you.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Took from that story. That's all with you.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Yeah, Bridge over, go ahead.
Speaker 5 (10:02):
I didn't know this, but apparently Boston was used to
be known for dessert called coffee jelly.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Have you ever heard of this?
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Bill?
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Never heard of it.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
It goes back to the eighteen hundreds, Okay, so it's
kind of it's been forgotten, all right.
Speaker 5 (10:13):
So it's coffee mixed with gelatine to give it a
jelly consistency, and then you chop it off with whipped cream.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
So based on that, it's like coffee jelly.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
I don't know. Wbz R sister station. They send someone
out on the streets there to talk to people about
what they think about coffee jelly.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Yeah, that's coffee jelly.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
It's fine.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
I don't think the flavor is that even I can't
even really taste it that much.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
With the whipped cream. That's actually not really bad at all.
I kind of like this.
Speaker 8 (10:39):
The only good part about that is the whipped cream.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
I like my coffee black, and you can really taste
the sugar here.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
So not my style. I would eat it.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
The boy that must have been a slow news day.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
He's ruining.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Me.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
And I know you've got a bonus story. So we're
talking about goarfunk back to that. We weren't a right there.
So picture this. So it's a truck that hit an
overpass on Memorial Drive.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
I know what you're gonna say.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Along the Charles River and their song was Bridge.
Speaker 3 (11:17):

Speaker 1 (14:04):
It's a painful one.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Think of it.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
It's your major what's your biggest joint.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
He didn't get a replacement, he got kind of a scope. Yeah,
I don't think it's as bad. Well, still he's hurting my.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Hip of all black and blue.
Speaker 10 (14:15):
Now the entertainment update with the Billy Copston.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Yeah, it's selection day. No bigger story than that. Today,
Sa Kamala Harrison, former President Trump, wrapped up the campaigns.
They were out late last night because it all comes
down to the vote. So the White House, the balance
of power up for grabs today, the Senate, the House,
all of that. We've been talking about the ballot questions
here in Massachusetts. A lot to talk about there. In fact,
(14:41):
right after nine o'clock we tackled question three. Earlier this morning,
right after nine o'clock. My buddy Andy husbands and owns
all the smoke shops, bunch of restaurants. He's got a
bunch of people working for him, tipping workers, so to speak.
So he's going to call in and we'll talk about
question five. Okay, but again, it is election day, get
out there and vote. Yesterday we talked about Jason Kelcey.
(15:04):
Remember he slapped the cell phone out of that guy's
hand at the Penn State game of the other day.
Yesterday he decided to apologize.
Speaker 15 (15:12):
Listen, I'm not happy with anything who took place. I'm
not proud of it. And you know, in a heated moment,
I chose to greet hate with hate, and I just
don't think that that's a productive thing. I really don't.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
I got to tell you, I thought he was right
to hit the phone out of the kid's hands, but
now I think he's right to apologize.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
Well, he's a classy guy, and I think he was
met with a lot, like he said, hate, and he
was defending his brother. He was defending his personal space
because that boy was all up in his growth for
no reason. He's a very kind person to people, like
It's well documented with fans and just in general with teammates.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Everyone loves this guy. His reputation precedes him.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
So I mean, it's one of those things. Right, he
smashed the phone in that moment. Right after he did it,
he thought to himself, damn it.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
Right, why did I do that?
Speaker 5 (16:04):
Yeah, and think about it, They've been like you know,
typical football players for you know, ten ten years, both
of them, and the last couple of years between the
super Bowl with both of them in it, and then
they're in the podcast, and then their mom and then
now the tailor's situation.
Speaker 8 (16:18):
Their position has definitely changed, right.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
Right, Yeah, being a famous football player is different than
being where they're at, right exactly.
Speaker 8 (16:25):
It's a different level.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
And here's the deal.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
The idiot that was hackling them is always going to
be an idiot. Yeah, I means change. Yeah. Travis Kelcey
and the Chiefs are still undefeated this morning. Pretty wild game.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Last night.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Baker Mayfield took the team the Bucks, down the field
for a game tying drive with seconds left in the game,
but the Chiefs won the coin toss for the overtime
and got possession and they won the game thirty twenty
four with the finals. So the Chiefs this morning, eight and.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Oh they find a way every time they find a way.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Taylor was at the game.
Speaker 8 (17:01):
Yes, she was wearing her denim shorts and cowboy boots.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
I love that look on her.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Yeah, that's her new look, right, it's always the shorts
and the high cowboy great legs. She does wrong legs, yeah, Shuma, yeah. Yeah.
She wrapped up the US leg of the Era's tour
and in a few weeks. I think it's November fourteenth,
she'll arrive, she'll do shows in Toronto, Canada. Just denounced
Kelly Clarkson going to host the tree lighting at the
(17:27):
Rockefeller Center up.
Speaker 16 (17:29):

a row, I'm actually going to host Christmas and Rockefellers.
Speaker 7 (17:38):
It's the live two hour special December.
Speaker 16 (17:41):
Fourth at eight pm Eastern on NBCM Peacock, filled with
the best music, starts at in surprises, and of course
the lighting of the world famous Christmas tree that is
so special.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
And the Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center this year is
from Massachusetts.
Speaker 5 (17:56):
At height west Stockbridge, which I one hundred and forty
miles from Manhattan.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
So I think it's like giving like you know, the
Berkshires or something, but.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
Far from here. Out there, they're cutting it down Thursday
and transporting it to New York City.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
And it gives us living here more of a chance
or more of an excuse to go for the tree lighting.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
All people travel from all over you see the tree, No,
there's there's there's a couple from Denmark that flew all
the way here to see the tree in westock Bridge,
yeow tree in New York to see it here where
it came from.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
Wow, Okay, that's that's that's interact level each is on.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
I guess yeah, and you know, I mean the Rockefeller
Center tree lighting. It's a little corny, but I think
everybody should try to see it once there.
Speaker 8 (18:40):
It's such a tradition and we've done ice skating. Yeah,
it's actually really fun.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
Do you guys remember a few years ago the tree
was like sickly looking? Do you remember that? It was
like a travesty the tree that they picked.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Yeah, it was an embarrassment.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
They had to fill it with.
Speaker 5 (18:53):
Like Yeah, I wonder if because they take it like
a month before, like at that leaves room for era
where like the tree couts to die.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Maybe they pick it too early. Yeah, you know, but
it looks beautiful now. Yeah, I was looking to pictures
of it today. Looks great. Uh you know what looks beautiful.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
It's our tree right here in the studio.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
Our little fake Christmas tree that's been up since September.
Speaker 3 (19:14):

say thank you to the tree bill, thank you mister tree.

so many different generations.
Speaker 8 (20:03):
He was in the Martha documentary that you guys have
to watch.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
It's amazing.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
They're definitely like such. They really are their best friends.
It's not an act like they really are.
Speaker 8 (20:12):

Yes, it's in the documentary that Yep, he was.
Speaker 9 (20:22):
High as high as he just smoking the whole roast

Speaker 4 (20:30):
It's a really cute story.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
Oh one were time on Netflix. I watched started watching
last night. They had the new Dirty Pop, which is
about lou Perlman and the back Street Boys and Sync.
It's pretty good. Oh yeah, I fell asleep, but I
gotta go back and finish it.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
I'm going to see that. But I watched Martha Tooley's.
I thought it was amazingly good, amazing amazingly well done.
I got to be honest. When the Olympic game started
right and Snoop was there, I didn't get it. Like,
I didn't think it was a good fit. I'm like,
I don't get it. Snoop at the Olympic Games. By
the end of the Olympic Games, I fell in love
with him. I thought he was fabulous.
Speaker 8 (21:03):
He's entertaining.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
So you're talking about horses like crip walking on.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
The weekend. Is trying another movie project. It's a movie
called Hurry Up Tomorrow, same title as his upcoming album.
It's a musically driven, psychological thriller. He's in the movie,
by the way, and so are Jenna Ortego. Who I
think is really good, and a Barry key Ogan, who
I think is really weird.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
He's a weird He's a method actor for sure.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Yeah, yeah, I don't really agree with this. I love
the Weekend, but after the Idol, I never want to
see him act again ever.
Speaker 8 (21:35):
He just are you surprised that he's going back?
Speaker 3 (21:39):
I'm really surprised. Maybe he's not going to be a
lead role, maybe kind of a you know, a side part,
but justin he shouldn't.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
Be an extra. You should not even be in the
That man was the creepiest, Yeah, the creepiest thing.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
It's amazing that somebody that can make the best sex
music could then act and make sex like last thing
you wanted.
Speaker 5 (22:02):
When you say that he does not make the best, Yeah,
he's very popular to work out too.
Speaker 1 (22:10):

that song? Is there something else I should know about
a Viccy?
Speaker 3 (23:21):
Oh my god, he's a legendary DJ. Legendary. I mean
that was his biggest song, but he had several different songs.
I mean he was a pioneer in ed M music
and bringing it to pop to pop radio.
Speaker 5 (23:32):
Well, it's funny you say that, because every time I
think of that song, I think of Al Black. I
don't think of right, but it's it's a Vichy song.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Yep. I watched the documentary they had made previously on him.
He was amazing. He had a lot of struggles, a
lot of mental health struggles, committed suicide. Very sad, but

Speaker 1 (24:17):
Martha is so old.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Her first period was the Renaissance.
Speaker 10 (24:23):
We we're back with Villy and Lisa in the morning
on Kiss.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
We're back. We've got a third shot at the sold
out jingle Ball. I've got a pair of tickets right
now for College twenty five six, one, seven.
Speaker 12 (24:34):
Eight.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
You will need the keyword, and the keyword producer Riley
is barbecue. Barbecue is the keyword. And well we wait
for college twenty five. I've got my buddy, Andy Husband's
on the phone. Good morning Andy, Good morning. So Andy
husbands owns it. Well, he's been a chef, a successful
chef in Boston for years and years. But you want
(24:56):
a bunch of smoke shops, how many do you have
now Andy, of.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Four and a couple more coming Withthuin is next. 'very excited?
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Oh mazouin. Justin is coming to your neighborhood.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Oh yeah, I love barbecue.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Okay, So four with more on the way. How many
employees right now, Andy, we're about one.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Hundred and fifty. I think by the end of next
year we'll be close to two hundred and fifty.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
And today is election Day and there's been a lot
of talk about the ballot questions. You Andy, have been
really really outspoken on question five and you're insisting that
everybody vote no on question five. Explain it and tell
me why.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Okay, First of all, make sure you turn over that
ballot and got all the way down to question five,
because it is on the back of the ballot. So
this question five was brought to us by a group
out of California, which I find bizarre that a California
group can try to change Massachusetts laws.
Speaker 12 (25:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Basically, if this path is what you're going to see,
is it's going to put restaurants in a predicament where
they're going to have to change how service done. It
could mean more QR codes, it could mean restaurants going
out of business. Prices will definitely have to go up.
Some say it's highest twenty percent, and it is not
(26:11):
going to do what they want, which what they want
is to make it more fair or equal back in
the house, front of the house and living wages. I
will tell you at our restaurants, our servers make thirty
to forty dollars an hour. Well, so it's a good living.
They work hard, they're awesome. And ninety percent of those
surveyed in Massachusetts servers and bartenders are against this, and
(26:38):
so we're sticking with our employees. And since they are
against it, we are a no on five.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
So Andy, you know, I've seen a lot of coverage
on question five, and I've also seen some people in
the hospitality industry, even weight people who said they're going
to vote yes on question five. So what would you
say to.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Them, Well, it's about math. I don't know if everybody
wants to do math. But look the way it works.
Now I can't touch a tip, then that's fine. I
like it the way it is. You know, Matthew Supreme
Court says, hey, would you tip somebody? You need to
go to a customer facing person that's a server of
bargend or a runner, those kind of people with this
(27:20):
law change if I have to pay, and I'll just
speak bluntly as an owner, if I have to pay,
if I have to pay all of our employees tips,
employees middim wage, which also, by the way, they do
make thirty to forty dollars an hour, if that has
to change, is that wipes out all proceeds any profit
for the business? Wow? What so as an owner, I
(27:45):
have to make a hard decision and that's not that's
not so. Then we have to take the tips and
reallocate and do stuff there. What I found funny is
John Tester from the Boston Globe, great writer. He said,
there's little to no evidence that any server has supported
any bartender in front of the house person and supported
(28:07):
the yes question.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Yeah. Financially, it's very hard to find someone that's yes
on question five.
Speaker 12 (28:16):
Right.
Speaker 5 (28:17):
I feel like, and Andy, sorry to overseek, but I
feel like, you know, I used to be a server,
and I think you would not get tips. I think
you are thinking, oh, they'll get tips on top of
the minimum wage. But people won't tip like they used
to if they know you're making minimum.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Wage exactly and because it's it's going to financially stress
the restaurants. Restaurant owners. You know, we're not billionaires, we're
a millionaires. We're hard working people right that are out here,
you know, living in the American tream, restaurants in an
American dream. But I'm going to tell you, so they're
(28:52):
going to tip less, and how are restaurant's going to
survive if they don't? Where does this come from? So
you're saying you're telling a business to pay somebody more
where they're already making a fair amount of money, and
where did that money come from? Be honest, right, it's
going to come from the customer. That means you're going to.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Pay more, right, Yeah, that's a bottom line. It's got
to happen, right, Yeah, you.
Speaker 5 (29:19):
Think about you can choose what you're tipping somebody, or
you can have the restaurant tell you how much you
have to pay for everything so that they can afford
the server.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
And you know, I'm not just making this stuff up.
This happened in Washington, DC. Yeah, they've lost something like
thirty eight hundred jobs in a year front of house jobs.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Yeah, and you know I was talking to somebody else, Andy,
maybe it was even you, and you said, when you're
going into the ballot box and looking at these ballot questions,
especially question five, make sure you read it very carefully
because sometimes they're written in such a way that they
want you to vote in a certain way. Am I
wrong there?
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Yes? Yeah. Look if I knew nothing and I just
read that thing out, be like, yeah, of course, yeah,
of course I want to you know, I want people
to be paid more. But I would ask everybody anytime
that someone's asking for more money, where do you think
that money's coming from. It's coming from the taxpayer, one
way or another. Right back at you know, when when
(30:14):
everybody voted for you know, free range pigs, which is
fine and I support it. Seventy percent of Massachusetts supported it.
That's question three. A few years ago, what happened the
prices went up by a dollar dollar fifty pound for
your bacon? You know, they don't say, hey, do you
want this? And do you also want to pay a
dollar fifty more pound on your bacon? Right?
Speaker 3 (30:35):
They left that part on.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
Well, Andy, the polls are open and it is election day,
and again I can't stress enough everybody listening, please go
out and vote and pay close attention to the ballot
questions because each of those.
Speaker 8 (30:48):
They really affect us here, they pertain to you and your.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
State of Massachusetts. Andy, I love you, Thank you, sir.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Agreee.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Smoke shops amazing, by the way, delicious. Oh my god,
barbecue is insane.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
Nothing like good barbecue.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
You could go to any one of his smoke shops
and just have a lunch on a piece of his
corn bread.
Speaker 4 (31:07):
Oh I love corn bread.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
His corner is magical.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
I'll have to try it.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Oh yeah, let's go to Vanessa. Vanessa your color twenty five?
No way, really absolutely? What's the key word?
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Barbecue?
Speaker 3 (31:22):
I go for some barbecue right now. I just tell you, barbecuelo.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
So listen, you got yourself a pair of tickets to
jingle Ball. Okay, that's a fact. But you also qualify
for the jackpot, which is front row seats for front
row seats and a shot at one hundred eight thousand dollars.
I'm so consumed by barbecue. I can't even speak, you know,
but hold on and producer Riley is standing by. She'll
(31:47):
talk to you. We'll see you with jingle Ball.
Speaker 8 (31:49):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
Okay, that congratulations Vanessa twelve ten is your next shot
at the jingle ball jack Up Jackpot. It's been a
busy morning. We'll wrap it all up next one.
Speaker 10 (31:58):
Kiss Kids, one Away. It's the morning wrap up on
Billy and Lisa in the morning.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
Well, it's Tuesday, November fifth, election day, big day, not
the election day, my guy. Oh, get out and vote.
If you have not listened, if you don't vote, then
you can't complain, right, that's how it goes.
Speaker 5 (32:16):
Justin can I ask you something because you live in
New Hampshire and none of us do. We've been talking
about the Massachusetts questions. We have so many New Hampshire listeners.
Are there questions there that they need to know about?
Speaker 3 (32:28):
Is that a serious question? Is a thing called Google?
You can go on there and look at Yeah, ask
mister Google. Yeah, thank you for that.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
I'll be glad to not see another New Hampshire political commercial.
Speaker 3 (32:41):
Oh, there's so many.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
More than Massachusetts. It was unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
I know, the Aaron Yeah, I know, yeah, I know.
It's pretty crazy. So, yeah, it's election day, get out
there and vote. And there's a couple of there's five
questions in Massachusetts. We were on top of a couple
of them. The first one is the Uber driver Lyft drivers. Right,
can they unionize or not? We were kind of torn
on this no, yes, We like really weren't sure, you know.
Speaker 10 (33:02):
Good morning everyone.
Speaker 17 (33:04):
I am on my way to vote, and I have
to say no for question three because it's a contract job.
And I think once you get the union involved, you
will see higher prices and then it becomes more of
a controlled environment, and then you.
Speaker 12 (33:21):
Have the union dues.
Speaker 17 (33:22):
I think it's just going to change the whole structure
of what Uber and Lyft is. I feel like it
works as it is leave it alone.
Speaker 9 (33:31):
Yeah, it's kind of like getting the government involved, right,
they like the freedom of not having that.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
We got some yesa's. I feel like we got a
lot more knows. We did meet people that were against,
you know, being able to unionize.
Speaker 18 (33:43):
As someone who just went through a union process, as
like a supervisor, I would just tell people to really
look into the contract and be very careful because the
union just wants you on their side, so they will
make it seem like you're making more money, but you
might not actually be making more money. So I just
(34:06):
tell the Uber people to be very careful and very
specific when reading through their contract.
Speaker 5 (34:12):
That makes a lot of sense because if you think
about how these other union work, it's they're making way
more money an hour than when an Uber driver's making
and that's why they can afford to put into the union.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
Right.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
All I know is I love Uber and LYFT. I
think they've made such a difference in the world. Oh, absolutely, absolutely,
they work hard. We also touched on question five for
the tipped workers, you know, raising the minimum wage to
fifteen dollars. We had Andy Husbands on from the Smoke
Shop Barbecue. I love barbecue, but we.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
Had him on. You know, Billy is the restaurant guys
worked in restaurants for in the restaurant industry for a
lot of years. So we had Andy Husband's on to
you know, give his message out about question five.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
I will tell you, at our restaurants, our servers make
thirty to forty dollars an hour. Well, so it's a
good living. Ninety percent of those surveyed in Massachusetts servers
and bartender are against this.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
There you go get out and vote.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
You gotta get out and vote.
Speaker 3 (35:06):
You gotta get out and vote, I mean, you know,
or there's no whining and there's no whining, no complaining
if you don't go, That's all I'm saying. So Channel
five ran a piece on me and my story last
night at five o'clock. At eleven o'clock, I have to
say that, you know, when Maria Stefanos, who is amazing,
the first celebrity I ever met as an intern, you know,
she was a celebrity to me when she came in
(35:27):
that first week, I was like, oh my god, yeah,
and I know because I have a Facebook memories and
I posted it. I was so excited that I just
met Maria Stefano. So I showed her and told her
when she came in. But when she reached out and
asked me, I said, of course, I would love to
tell my story. Thank you. I never anticipated they would
get this much attention. It's been great. So many people
(35:50):
have been reaching out last night this morning, just amazing.
I want to say thank you, and I hope that
you know my message was received.
Speaker 12 (35:57):
Good morning everybody. Lucy here just wanted to let just

night and saw his piece. Absolutely amazing. We've known some
of the story for a while now, and I think
you're awesome. I do have the eleven o'clock recorded so
I can watch it later when I get home, but
I'm sure it'll be just as awesome as the first part.
(36:19):
Justin kudos to you.
Speaker 10 (36:21):
We love you, You're the best.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
You can find the second part on YouTube. I watched
it this morning. I did not stay up to see it,
but listen it's I'm not looking for accolades and all
that stuff. I just want to put out the message
that you know, I've been at the bottom. You know,
I deal with addiction still to this to this day.
Every single day. There's a lot of people out there struggling,
don't think they can get clean, and I want to
(36:42):
let them know that they can and they can achieve
their dreams. I did it, and if I'm telling if
I can do it, they can.
Speaker 12 (36:49):
Yeah.

I'm just saying I.
Speaker 19 (36:50):
Want to say thank you for sharing your story on
Channel five. You guys brought me to tears by. Your
story really inspired me, especially where you inspired Gen to
go back to school too to become an RN. I
am now looking at the schools today to become an RN.

So I just want to say thank you to you both.
Even if my challenges were different than yours. Now I'm
looking into it, so thank you.

Speaker 2 (38:48):
Just get out there and vote.
Speaker 3 (38:49):
It is essential to our democracy. And hey, if you
want to vote no on Question five, that would be
great too. Let's go guys. Voting Day twenty twenty four,
let's go. Shawn and Boston we met him at West
End Johnny's great guy. He's a good guy.
Speaker 1 (39:01):
He's one of the influencers hubsts as we call him
on on your TV show.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
Yeah. Now, him and Whinnie had a little feud. They
resolved it, but at the time when he tried to
shame him, and then he said to Winnie, Whinnie, I
have fifty thousand Instagram followers, you have eighteen. Now he
has one hundred and three thousand, when he has twenty.
Speaker 4 (39:24):
I got three more thousand.
Speaker 3 (39:25):
We had a big laugh about that.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
You don't pick one.
Speaker 4 (39:28):
No, he's a nice guy, him and I DM he's
really sweet. He is a good guy.
Speaker 3 (39:32):
Yeah, so shout out to him. We had a story
in Bill's Entertainment about Blake Shelton. Oh yeah, apparently he's
gaining some weight, that's what they're saying. Yeah, and Gwen
Stefani is a little bit concerned that he's, you know,
put on too much weight.
Speaker 12 (39:46):
So yeah, when Stefani posted video of her homemade pasta
on her Instagram feed, I think she might be part
of the problem.
Speaker 8 (39:57):
You know what, I think, You're right?
Speaker 3 (39:58):
Yeah, yeah, feeding the guy. I guess he's eating pulled
pork sandwiches.
Speaker 4 (40:03):
That sounds really good, right, now after we just had
the barbecue guy on, I told.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
Him you should try the chicken pot pie at the
ninety nine.
Speaker 3 (40:10):
I'm just saying, Oh, there's nothing better than pot pie.
Let me tell you it's hard though. That's something, you know,
Southern food, all the carbs. Oh, it's so good.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
I gotta tell you the Blake's sholling handsome guy, he's
very handsome.
Speaker 3 (40:22):
Yeah, you know what, eat all you want, Blake.
Speaker 1 (40:25):
Yeah, you always have you all you want on a day.
Speaker 18 (40:29):
I am really really feeling anxious.
Speaker 8 (40:33):
You guys never fail to make me laugh, and I
know so many others too.
Speaker 18 (40:39):
I just adore you guys. You really are amazing.
Speaker 12 (40:42):
Go vote.
Speaker 5 (40:43):
You know what's so funny is that all of us
are like very anxious people, making people that are anxious
and not feel anxious.
Speaker 4 (40:49):
But we all have anxiety.
Speaker 1 (40:50):
Oh I'm I'm.
Speaker 3 (40:53):
Anxiety.
Speaker 4 (40:54):
I literally have anxiety as we speak. That's a good point, anxious.
Speaker 3 (41:00):
Group of people. Yeah, well you know what it works,
really does.
Speaker 8 (41:04):
I'm glad that we can help people.
Speaker 3 (41:05):
Yeah, can someone help me might be helpless.
Speaker 2 (41:10):
I'm just saying, good morning listening to yesterday's podcast on
Red Flags.
Speaker 4 (41:15):
I'm going to keep it real simple.
Speaker 8 (41:17):
Here my red flag when it comes to dating, being
a man, have a great day?
Speaker 3 (41:25):
A little blunt man up, I guess, so it's wrong
with men. Some man walks into a bar.
Speaker 20 (41:31):
There's an old joke, and there's a beautiful woman sitting
at the bar, and they sit and have a drink together,
and she leans over and says, I want you to
make me feel like a real wand and he takes
off his jacket and he says, I need this iron.
Speaker 4 (41:47):
Oh my gosh, can you stop? What is wrong with you?
Speaker 1 (41:57):
Important things?
Speaker 3 (41:58):
Go out and vote.
Speaker 14 (42:00):
Vote.
Speaker 1 (42:01):
We gotta go. You know why we all have to
go vote. It's election day. I forgot to have a
great day, everybody. I hope everything turns out the way
you want it to turn out. But again, you gotta
get out. You got to make a decision. You got
to make a voter.
Speaker 3 (42:14):
There's no whining.
Speaker 1 (42:15):
Okay, we'll see you tomorrow morning. Don't forget. We'll have
three shots at the jingle ball jackprot In fact, the
Mighty one is gonna have one at twelve ten today.
Speaker 3 (42:23):
We'll see you.
Speaker 1 (42:24):
Have a great day, everybody. By now,
